My son graduated from 8th grade last night...It was so nice...He goes to private school and they had a beautiful ceremony....

I got home from work yesterday morning (only worked till 10am)and BS14 told me SD text him and would like to go to his graduation. BS told her that was fine with him if it was OK with me....I thought about it for awhile...I have not seen her in awhile and after talking to my 2 children we all decided it would be OK if she went....So BS21 text her that it was fine she came but there was to be no drama of any kind or he would make her leave....She told him she would never do that to us...(YAH RIGHT)...So she came with DH....

It went wonderfully....She gave me a hug when she saw me, she sat next to me in church, and it went well. When we were taking pics she asked me if it was OK to be in the pics....Of course I said yes....But with trying to get all the pics BS14 wanted it ended up being she was only in one and that was with BS14 only....They left after the ceremony and i took my boys and my parents and aunt for dinner and drinks....I have to say it went well....

Last sat went good, DH tried to keep phone on since he told me him and SD have been talking about the clingy, constant calling, trying to get her on her feet thing....She did call once and DH blew up.....He took it alittle far I thought because she was calling to tell him she was going to sleep at a friends and she was driving herself there :jawdrop: I was amazed at that since DH told me she wont drive, she is to scared...But she did it Sat....so baby steps....Sunday his phone was on and no calls and no texting....

Therapy is going well...and again baby steps....He did tell me he would love to move back in but knows that is far away yet...I do believe it is very FAR!!!!!! Yetserday night was nice but once again BABY STEPS!!!!! I feel good about things right now and continue to keep it that way....

That is so good!! Hopefully SD is able to move on with her life and be a normal teenager without clinging to daddy. I hope she is able to keep it up. Good for you for sticking to your guns!! Nothing would have changed if you didn't push for it!!

Yay!! You all seem to be making progress and that is key!! Im still rooting for you and DH! You two do love each other! Congrats to his mini graduation and for you and your bios discussing it thru first before inviting SD!!!! I LOVE that!! Its also a good sign that they are still accepting of her.

Its gonna be a whole lot of baby steps to rebuild things the right way this time. But I do think your on the right track! You are also starting to sound alot stronger, and more grounded on what you need from DH. I just pray that he is truly taking this just as seriously, but sounds like he is. Kudos girl!!
